Chapter 162: Klein's Relief [2]
***
As Amon came to the front of the stadium, he looked at the time.
The match after Klein's match had just ended minutes ago.
But he didn't really care.
Both of the participants were from other academies and mere extras.
There was no use wasting his time on them.
The next match was...
Nadia Alneith VS Sarah Reinhardt (AA)
He was intrigued by this match like he had said before.
But it wasn't because of the other academy student.
Just like the other two before, she was an extra as well.
It was because of her opponent or rather a student from their academy.
Nadia Alneith, the only daughter and second child of the Alneiths.
A high-ranked noble family famous for their technological advancements with mana.
The watches they were actually wearing and the mana transformers Amon saw back then.
Both of them were products of Alneiths. Their whole family was also well famous for their [Energy] element.
It was one of the main reasons why they outclassed every other competitor in that industry. [Energy] was a very versatile and strong element. But at the same time, it was very rare. And the Alneiths being a family of Energy users spoke well enough for their worth. Nadia's element was also [Energy), which was why he wanted to see her in the first place.
Amon had never seen [Energy] elements before so he wanted to experience it.
But just as he was about to head inside the stadium, his watch dinged.
DING~!
'Hmm?' Curious, he opened the messenger app.
But his eyes widened as he saw the name of the sender.
Athena Silvermoon.
It wasn't like it was the first time she was messaging him.
But the contents of her message made his body perk up from excitement.
[Athena: Your reward has been received from the Kingdom. You can take it after your match or right now?] She asked him.
What did she mean after the match?
Of course, Amon wanted it right now.
He had been waiting for it for so long after all.
He quickly replied back.
[Amon: Yeah, I'll take it right now.]
Fuck Nadia.
He could still see her in action a little later. It wasn't like this was going to be the last time he would see her.
Looking at the time, Amon nodded.
'I should be back 10 mins before my match.' He assumed.
But the ping of the watch was quick to break him out of his dreams.
[Athena; Tsk, impatient brat]
It lasted for just a second before Athena deleted it.
But for him, it was enough to recognize it.
[Amon: Did you say something?] He asked.
But Athena was quick to reply back.
[Athena: No.]
[Amon: I see]
Then, Athena replied.
[Athena: Anyways, the sooner you come to my office and take it off our hands, the better it
would be.]
Amon was surprised.
[Amon: "Our"?] He asked.
[Athena: Arthur is also here with me.] She said,
[Amon: Oh okay, alright. I'll be there then] He said and Athena reacted to his reply with a thumbs-up emoji.
Amon sighed.
Welp, better to go and get it quick.
And then, he quickly headed to her office without wasting a moment.
***
Amon knocked at Athena's door.
[Come in.] Athena's voice came from inside.
"Alright." He said and opened the door.
However as soon as he did, he regretted doing it.
It was because of the flying ball that came hurling at him.
Fortunately, he was able to dodge at the last second and stop it in his hands.
As he peeked from the side of the ball in his hands, Amon had a furious expression on his face.
"What's that for?"
"For being 20 minutes late brat."
"It's not fucking easy to get here from the stadium block you know." Amon said.
But Arthur quickly replied.
"That sounds like a skill issue on your part." He said, crossing his legs.
Amon gritted his teeth.
'This man...' He said.
Fortunately, Athena quickly clapped her hands to gain both of their attention.
"Okay, stop with the jokes now and let's get down to business." She said,
Amon also turned serious, his body brimming with anticipation.
Going behind her table, Athena retrieved a thick black book, locked in quite some straps.
As he looked at it, Amon instantly knew that it wasn't a weapon manual.
They were thinner and longer than this.
It was a mana tome.
But Amon wasn't complaining. As long as it was good.
Stepping toward him, Athena extended her hands toward him, she showed the mana tome.
"Amon Ashford..."
"Upon recognition of your brave and valiant actions during the Class Trip, you are hereby
awarded with this mana tome at the blessing of the Imperiac." Athena said.
Amon smiled at her smile and also extended his hands forward to retrieve it.
"Boooo." Arthur teased from the side and Amon's mouth twitched.
"You fucking oldy." He said.
But he ignored it.
Right now was a precious moment as he took the mana tome in hands.
With his body brimming with excitement, Amon tried to open up the system interface of the
tome.
And to match his expectations, it did have one.
As the holographic screen opened, Amon's eyes wasted no momenta as they scoured over the
document.
But as he finished, his mouth was left gaping.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"How the fuck is this a tome?" He asked himself.
***
Nadia's match was finally over.
And just like Charlotte had expected, Sarah was beaten to a pulp.
Now, it was Amon's match.
And she was currently waiting for him to come on the stage as she looked around.
She didn't know how strong he had gotten after the FULLDIVE, their first proper fight.
And even then, they had been separated as soon as the fight began,
He was an anomaly in her eyes as not once had she seen him use his full power.
Which was why she was so excited to see this match.
But if there was one thing she knew, it was that in the new rankings Amon wouldn't be the last
anymore.
Rather, he would completely obliterate his way through.
And just as Charlotte was wondering, a commotion broke out on the railing as people surged
to see what was happening.
And Charlotte, being one of these type of people also looked over.
And that was when her eyes widened as saw the familiar man walk up on stage for his fight.
Amon Ashford.
He was here for his fight.
